Well another beautiful fall day... crisp air and wind blows as I write this :) and soccer game passes us, Mitchel's team played tough today but lost 2-1.

WAY TO GO IOWA!!!! Kickn' Cyclones ... lucky win but good win!

What a day yesterday! It was truely one of those days that I thought was going to completely suck... just cuz I'm so tried of not seeing anything done at the house... and I was completely frustrated all week since we are still on a stand still upstairs when it should be almost complete... but oh well life must go on ... and just keep waiting for the moment, right? Because I know at the end its going to be incredible!!

So yesterday after I did a few things here I had a few errands to run and I had to run up to the house to make sure the plastering guys were doing "smooth" in the kitchen... and I was just amazed how much they had done already... I love to see the "white" rather than just grey walls... and also the grading was being worked on again in the yard... so needless to say I was HAPPY to see those two things going on, but just a small snag... one of our contractors AGAIN was not around today, I just fell apart a little bit... just dont understand why HE doesn't want to be there nor cares to get things moving. FRUSTRATED!!

So while I was walking around the house a little bit upset... while waiting for Jer to come up so we could talk to the " grading contractor " ... as I was waiting, Jer pulled up and then up comes the FED EX truck... thought no big deal of it, right? I thought maybe it was something I got off Ebay... just confused a little bit and my mind was totally off track, didn't really care to open right then and there... and Jer was persistant about "what is it" and I of course said "oh its just something I got off Ebay" then I looked at it some more and then just opened it... OH MY GOSH!!! I nearly died!!! It was a PINK IPOD NANO (one of the new ones that just came out) I was completely stunned! It was from Jer of course... and he had it special engraved on the back saying... "YOU ROCK MY WORLD" along with my name on it. The whole setting of how it happened and where it happened to get that special gift will forever be within me, it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!! he also had a little card in the package... it was just the TOP of the day, and I was so glad he was there when it arrived, seriously Jer you got me GOOD! I still can't believe it when I sit here and write about it.

So needless to say the day was a TON better just by that little package, it was just a nice "pick me up" and gosh I needed it!
Yesterday afternoon after Jer did a little work and I did somethings here at home... we then went to house and hung curtains, shades, blinds, and did a lot of little crap, got some windows cleaned... what a fricken job that was :( since the windows are sealed so tight... they are hard to open... but got some done. Our room looks AWESOME I must say... I up'd it a notch and totally went outside my norm... and went more Victorian style in there... a deep robin egg wall color, dark bamboo shades, and terra cotta (orange) drapes... YEAH totally outside of Lis's normal box... but change is good, right? Just hope it will all look nice together once the bed is made and things on walls, etc.

Last night... Jer and I went on a "date" to Lowes/Menards/Wal Mart... and then our usual Houlihan's supper :) We just really enjoy going to eat there! Nice relaxing evening, after supper we decided to head back home and go to the house for awhile and get some more things done there... Jer's brother Brad came up to work on Blade's mural... well dummy me didn't print out the picture for him and we don't have internet yet so he was SOL... and by the time I was going to go get the picture... Jason called Jer... he and his date were on the way back to town and wanted to know if we wanted to get a drink with them... so they came up to the house for awhile... and then we were off... a hoot of a night! so many laughs and drinks were shared among our table, just a really good time! but geesh another late night for the Miller's... but it was fun! Thanks Ja for calling us, we enjoyed hangin' out. Hope the night went well for you! You deserve the best!!

Well I best get some crap done around here... Jer is currently at the bunker fixing the broken... and Blade is out cold on the couch and Issac is playing games... and Mitchel went skating with some friends, so it pretty quiet here.

Wish you all a great weekend! The Indian Summer may come to an end soon... so get out and enjoy it!!
